Rocky the Siberian tiger at the Cape May County Zoo in Cape May, New Jersey. He was lying down, when all of a sudden he hopped up and stared intently at someone passing by his exhibit. We watched as Rocky remained totally focused on this person and followed him as he passed the exhibit. This did not seem to be a playful stalk but an "I want to eat you" stalk. The person was not a child -maybe he was the zoo veterinarian?

Most moths have dull colors, but that is not the case for the bog tiger moth. With black stripes covering their yellow hind wings, and yellow stripes covering their black forewings, it’s no question as to why the moth has “tiger” in its name. Part of the Erebidae family, the bog moth was first written about in 1864 by Möschler, a German entomologist. The moth has been known to inhabit wetlands and bog areas; the larvae often feed on plantains and dandelions, while adults feed on a variety of flowering plants.
Moths are important to the ecosystem because they serve as a main food source for other insects, birds, mammals, and a variety of other species. They also help as a main contributor to the pollination process of herbaceous plants. When feeding, the bog tiger moth gathers pollen on their legs and wings, while eating the nectar of another plant, they gather and exchange pollen from their bodies with the new plant. Pollen also can fall from their bodies while flying, and can then pollinate the plants they are hovering above. Although herbicides do help keep nuisance insects away from the plants, they also kill millions of moths and other species that we need to increase plant production. Aerial spraying is especially dangerous and non-targeted herbicide are especially dangerous for moths as the chemicals get into the water table in wetlands. This is difficult to combat, however, education about the domestic use of pesticides is a good place to start.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

Didn't realise I could use the Fractulius plug-in with photoshop elements, now I've downloaded it I've been trawling through photos to see how I can apply the filter. Not to everyone's taste I'm sure, but I quite like the images it produces.
This picture was taken at a Zoo in Colorado Springs during my recent trip. It was taken with a Canon 40D using a Canon 70-200mm F/4.0 L lens.
Luckily as we were walking past the tiger cage there was some work being done right across from it, so this tiger was nice and interested in finding out what was going on.

Tiger Cubs shot at the San Diego Zoo
Mike the Tiger - LSU's Live Bengal Mascot.
Plenty of challenges in shooting this big guy today. First, it was very overcast and not much light. Then, he would not stop pacing. I think it's because LSU got placed in UNC's bracket and would have to play them in the 2nd round...so the pacing is understandable. And finally, I was shooting thru 2 layers of heavy-duty fencing, which is probably a good trade-off!
Asian tigers at Disney Animal Kingdom. They only have female tiges there, I was quite surprised to find out from one of the staff there that they are not part of any breeding programme. Magificent looking cats Tigers are a personal favourite of mine

A Siberian Tiger and one of her cubs rest at their enclosure at the Siberian Tiger Forest Park in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang province April 23, 2007. More than 100 tiger cubs are expected to be born in this park this year, local media reported.
One of two Bengal Tigers at the Nashville Zoo, they were both up and moving around today a joy to everyone who saw them. This and more pictures are viewable on my blog digiartpics.com/2011/05/17/nashville-zoo-at-grassmere/
(Panthera tigris) The tiger is the largest cat species Today, they range from the Siberian taiga to open grasslands and tropical mangrove swamps. The remaining six tiger subspecies have been classified as endangered by IUCN.
these tiger & cheetah's are my first effort with an SLR (that i borrowed) - which will probably prove fatal to my bank balance !
Bei genauer Betrachtung fällt auf, das die eine Pupille des Tigers unsymetrisch geschlossen ist. Der Arme hats wohl mit den Augen :/
